About Reaiah
Reaiah is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Reuben (1Ch.5.5). He was the son of Micah and a member of the Reubenite clan. The genealogy in 1Chronicles 5 traces the descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel (or 'Jacob'), and provides a record of the families and clans within the tribe. No further details are given about Reaiah's life or role within the tribe. His mention in the genealogy serves to document the lineage of the Reubenites.
